:Using cygwin helps. I tried using a windows binary of patch, but that didn't work too well. I eventually installed cygwin and used that to apply a patch (menucolors) and it worked.[[User:Addps4cat|Addps4cat]] 13:31, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Can someone please expand on this? As a windoze programmer I have never used patch and am trying to apply the vs2005 patch and it keeps failing and I do not understand why...

missing header for context diff at line 13 of patch

I assume you're speaking of this patch. I unpacked nethack's sources, and downloaded the vc2005-file in the source root directory, and typed
patch -p0 < vc2005

in the command line, which seems to work ok for me, but I'm on linux... Haven't tried compiling nethack with that patch either. --Paxed 14:59, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
